Friday is WVU’s Pink Game, and all fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness. The Mountaineers raised $15,781 this spring in their effort to help fight breast cancer, pushing their 10-year total to more than $100,000. A check will be presented to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at halftime of Friday’s game.

Fans also are encouraged to bring sundry items, such as scarves, nail polish, books, lotion and socks, for donation to the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center on Friday. No monetary donations will be accepted. A banner will be hanging outside the stadium Friday night, and fans are asked to write the names of loved ones who have been affected by the disease. Fans who write on the banner and/or donate an item will receive one free ticket to Friday’s game.
